Lock-down Day 568

Normal morning, quite early, though.

At work, while I'm waiting for the PC to re-calculate - I scroll through this and that, and I've just come across an awesome idea: meshed trellis tunnels! Yeah, not a new thing, and I've been thinking something along those lines already ... I can't put into words what just fizzed together in my head. I'm seeing a long arbor / pergola to walk under, in shade, with all kinds of fruit and veggies hanging through - tomatoes, grapes, cucumber, melon ... now, if only I could make something like that actually happen, eh?

I'm really bursting with desire to create something. Like the paper weaving I did, back in PE. Anything. Just making something pretty. I just don't know what! I've got all this cardboard hoarded - mippie treat boxes and the delivery boxes. I have this idea of building stuff with those. All I need, is to find the basic building block design. I've been thinking triangles. Trying to come up with some way to make triangle blocks that I can then interlock to build just about anything. Starting, of course, with some cat toys.

I've tried that once before, remember? In the old place? It didn't work. Even though I cut out each triangle from the same 'first one' as a template, when I glued them together, they didn't have an even edge. I've been thinking that I went too big - if I make smaller triangles, I'll be able to 'finish' them - like the sanding you'd do with wooden blocks. Or maybe I should just glue the carboards together and cut out the shape afterwards? Though - I'm not really too keen on all that gluing. There has to be a better way ...

Anyway, back at home. First thing, I have to mow the lawn! In the blazing sun - which is NOT good! And then I just deep cleaned the tomato bed. The maize is growing nicely, so are the peppers - but the Nasturtiums are doing best of all! I just cleared a small portion again, there are so many weed roots growing in that section - it's a lot of work. When I was done, I added more fertiliser and then I placed 2 seeds each of cucumber, zucchini, watermelon and cantaloupe. Yeah, a bit much for such a small section ... I'm just greedy.

Back inside ... no internet on the PC. So, I just left it ...
